BTW, on the fund raising topic, Dean was at a significant disadvantage during Q1 since the Schiavo mess was on the forefront of the political forum. Let's face it, the Republicans had a hot button issue on their table to galvanize their base into giving money. The Democrats had an issue that was of lukewarm importance and DeLay. That's not nearly as motivating an issue. He was lucky to get as much as he did.
